But before they sign off, we'll get one more season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Showtime's The Tudors will continue on for one more season, but then…no more.

Yes, the fourth season of The Tudors will also be its last. This was all pretty much to be expected as Henry's wives are dwindling down to the finish line and it was initially stated that the series was expected to go about four seasons. The final 10 episodes will "dramatize King Henry VIII's last two tumultuous marriages, to Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr."

And yes, the final season will be written by Michael Hirst, who has single handedly written the entire series. Hirst will then head off to pen Showtime's Camelot series.

"I'm thrilled to complete the saga of Henry VIII as reconceived by Michael Hirst," said Showtime president Robert Greenblatt. "He and Jonathan Rhys Meyers have breathed new life into the costume drama by making it both modern in sensibility but also faithful to history."
